A Ring on . Swollen Finger.

"Wiu you please saw this ring Oft my
finger
IL was an old woman who made this re-
quest of a broadway jeweler, and us the
worker in gold and silver took the
wrinkled. though fat and shapely, hand
in his il trembcd violently, and tear
dropped upon the counter.
Excuse me- continued the old lady,
"but it is my wedding ring. have never

wears ago. have rcfrained from having
il cut. hoping that my finger might get
thinner and that | could take it off with

And what If l can remove it without
cutting inquired the Jeweier.
but can youg' said she, looking up in
a half crcduloUs way. "lf you can, do ii
by all means
Then the jeweler took the swollen
finger and wound it round from the top
downwarls in length of fiat rubber
braid The elastic cord sNerted its force
upon the tissues of the finger gently and
gradually until the flesh seemed TO be
pushed down almost tu the bone. The
old woman's hand was then held above
her head for a brief interval. Then the
bandage was quickly uncorded and re-
wound about the member. This was re-
peated three times, and fiually it WAS
found upon uncoycring the finger that it
was small enonSh to admit of the ring 5
being removed with ease.
Il have never fail d but once" said
the jeweler, ''and have removed many
rings from fingers even more swollen than
yours. DO charge for it? oh, yes. l
ask the same amount that l would get
If the ring We're left to he mcnced after

and rs he turned TO his bench and the old
woman left the store he added: But after
all she might have done the same thing
herself Its not the work, however, |

The USE OF TOBACCO.
4 Marked Change Taking Place ia the
Taste of the l.ubiic-Less Chewing.

4 Marked Change Taking Place Ia the
Taste Of the lubiic-LesS Chewing.
Every tobaccuniSt recognizes the great
change that is taking place in what may
be called in q rather new sense the pubic
taste. Any average tobacconISt, whose
trade is not chiefly among sailors and
truckmen. will tell you he does not sell
one-half as much chewing tobacco rs he
did ten years ago, and not One-third as
much rs he did twenty years ago. Very
likely he will be unable to guess why it is,
but he can't deny the fact. asked one
OF them about it the other day. He said:
The change is due to variety Of
causes. 1t is great dol more apparent
here i'll the east than in the west and
south. but it is going ON all over the
country. One thing is undoubtedly the
strength of public opinion that it is an
uncleanly habit. II is hard for n man
who chews to keep evidences of it from
his clothes That fact makes il inevitable
that the habit should 90 down before the
increasing attention to dress, that is n
feature of modern life Then great
many refined and well intentioned persons
have waved war against it for years. II
was inevitable that some effect should
follow their crusade.
But the principal causes are right
here: There is great deal more dySpep-
sia and stomach trouble in the country
now than there used to be. And no per-
son can chew tobacco who has a weak
stomach. James Parton says in his
famous pamphlet against rum and to-
bacco that the stomach will hold out
against the weed longer than the
lungs. James does not smoke or chew,
and therefore ne doesn't know. Common
experience shows that he is wrong. and
doctors support the vehlict Of common
experience. The action Of the tobacco
juice. which trickles down the chcwer' $
throat. is to paralyZe the stomach. 1t
will do that long before smoke will have
any perceptible effect upon al ordinary
pair of lungs.
Then the cigarette has done a great
deal TO put an end to the habit Of chew
ing tobacco. The growth Of the cigarette
practice in this country is, rs they say OF
western towns, phenomenal The con-
sumption of cigarettes has doubled many
times over in the last fifteen years. About
seven out of every ten boys who are grow
ing up now smoke cigarettes. And after
a boy has smoked cigarettes q few years
he not only las no taste for tobacco in
any other form. but he has no ccnstitu-
tion left to stand chewing tobacco. 1t is
curious how boys will take to cigarettes.
l believe it is very largely because of the
fuss that is made about them. 1t has got
to be the common opinion that cigarette
smoking is the most injurious practice
known. That is just why boys adopt it.
1t makes them an object of awful interest

LowelI's Address at Chicago.

Not that he spoke III. On the contrary,
it was u genuine delight to listen to him.
He did not ''dooty'' us; he did not mis-
take the chimney SCOT for the suitable in
other things; he was not ''lit'rt," and
what he gave us was not "litratoor.n He
did not drop the final gs nor d an r to
his idea of thinking-a self restraint in a
Bostonian for which We are very grateful.
1t is very sweet to our ears, moreover, to
find that he had not acquired cockneyisms
nor other barbarities Of English manners
during the period when he imbibed more
or less Of English odiousness in politics.
But it was painfully apparent that either
he spoke with singular indifference for a
man to whom accuracy of enunciation
should be an invulnerable habit, or with
self contradictoriness indicating a defiance
of orthoepic principles. For instance, he
habitually said "natchah" for nature, and
so On through the words ending in ure.
He said ''tempist" for tempest, and so on
through the words ending in est. He
generally said ''munt" for the final
''ment, ~ and "ist" for the terminal "est."
He was as little inclined to recognize an r
between two vowels, or following a vowel
and preceding another consonant, as is
Mr.. Cleveland to recognize q true blue
Democrat when he finds an excuse in the
civil service rules LOT not uOlnB SO.
In lieu Of simple tears in one syllable he
gave us afternoon "teahs' In two %syllables;
and Shakespeare himself came but anon
with n flnal "ah." He did not Lutte us
with his Lutte, but he did loon" us with
his lunacy; and although he sounded his
IL correctly in illusion, why should he
have played loo with us when he became
ludicrous9 Shall he disavow for himself
the trade he regretted Wordsworth had
too much despised, ''the trade in classic
n.cctics,'' and are not these two words, 80
widely different in usual significance, from
the same roots Why, again, should he
talk to us about patriotism, giving the a
of the Latin root probably the true ancient
sound, and then speak of "Socratease,'
anglicizing his Creek 1t may seem petty
thus to scan Mr.. Lowell's spoken English
''micrologically." But 1t must be remem-
bered that it is one OF the methods by
which we must arrive at n correct pro-
nunciation Of our language, II such a thing
be.-Chicago Cor. New York Sun.

THE n. Y. Commercial has the follow
ing special from Washington; 1t is re-
ported that the resignation of William c,
falicoU. as secretary Of war is in the
hand, IT the president. While this is
probably premature. the fact is there is
very ittle sympathy between the presi-
lsut and Endicott. and their entire
alienation may occur at any time. Endi-
colt it is asserted finds his duties in the
cabinet not congenial. The president it
is asserted is disappointed in Endicott as
a political factor. and he has been a COM
plete failure in his official capacity here.
He has offended many prominent men
who had business with theldepartment, to
the great annoyance Of the president,
and Endicott has not been IN any sense
diplomatic. He has permitted his ua-
tural exclusiveness to repel persons in
clined to be friendly to the administra-
ton. The president has on one or "
occasions, remarked upon this regretiully.
New England politicians here expressed
the opinion that the president made a
mistake in the first place in not putting
Collins in his cabinet, and say he has
since discovered his error. That the
president has been gaining strength in
Massachusetts, is not denied, but it is dis
puted that Endicott has contributed to
this.
